More Valleyschwag photos

Scott Beale also was at least night’s party and took a bunch of nice shots. He, too, has a Canon 5D. I’m so jealous! I said “I want that” and pointed at his camera.

Om Malik and I had a good time. I congratulated him on his new career moves and he returned the favor. I like this one cause it shows how much fun it is to hang out with Om. He tells stories that make you smile.

  1. If I remember right she’s a designer at Ruby Labs. I forget her name, though and I didn’t get a card from her. Baaaaaaaaad Scoble.

  3. Never mind the camera. The genius is in the photographer. The main thing in a camera is for it to take the picture the moment you click the button. The pics here show a camera that worked when the photographer wanted it to. At these Flickr resolutions it could have been a 1.3mp cellphone camera. Except you can’t seem to get a cheap camera that takes the ****ing picture when you want it to!

  5. Robert, if you take sex out of social networking, it isn’t very ‘social’ is it? Just a pale imitation thereof. Which is why it’s not surprising that online chat and sites like MySpace gained popularity for their more … carnal … applications. I can understand the level of decorum you’d like to keep, but I’m just pointing out that it can be taken a bit too far.

    Oh, and speaking of MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=4054093

    Thor has some ‘splainin to do.

  7. Fact is, if you have children and they are 18+, all you can do is pray they use the common sense you tried so very hard to instill in them as they came up through the hell that is being a teen.
    When I was a teen in the early 80s, there wasn’t that much bad stuff to get involved in, and by the same token, there wasn’t truly a lot of geeky stuff either. I got a Commodore 64 and a subscription to Creative Computing for Christmas in 1982, and such began my geeky career. Kids in my day were either jocks or played D&D on the weekends. I liked the girls back in the day, but the geeky chicks were always more sexy in the ways that counted and still count.
    I agree with Scoble — it’s demonic to make a geek chick into a sex object. People should be judged on their geek merit by what they know, not how they look. I know some cute geek chicks and some ugly ones, but by far most geek chicks are like Thelma fro m Scooby Doo — they focus more on their minds than on their looks.
    Universities around the world are having a hell of a time trying to lure chicks into CS and EE programs. Girls are just not entering the IT business in the numbers that were hoped for. Yes, you may see a number of them on either the East or Left coast, but in general, chicks are not attracted to IT and I’ll tell you why.
    Guys like to tinker with technology. They took things apart as kids cause they wanted to see how things worked. Girls, for the most part, see technology differently. They want to know how technology can help them get their jobs done, but they are not so interested in the ugly underneath. Life’s command line, so to speak, is largely the stuff of guys. Girls prefer life’s GUI.

  9. @Robert: Which post of mine did you delete? The only one I added was the one (still there) asserting my sister’s off-limits status.

    @Hypertime: To paraphrase an old saying, don’t believe everything you read on MySpace. She was born in 1989. I should know–I was there.
